Chapter 79 Paying Public Grain

The day to pay public grain arrived amid the anticipation of the entire team.

The team leader, secretary and accountant were all out, and the drying group members were busy early in the morning.

Ning Xiyue followed Aunt Yang Liu to put bags of grain onto the cart and ox cart.

Finally, after the loading was completed, Ning Xiyue picked up the backpack she brought with her and followed everyone to the town where the grain was collected.

The team had to pay the public grain tax, so there was less work to do in the fields, and the autumn harvest was coming to an end, so everyone had free time to go to the market in town.

Ning Xiyue met many aunts from the team on the way, and all the people from the Youth League Institute were heading towards the town.

Of course, the old educated youth basically wanted to follow the team that was paying public grain to the scene to understand the situation in real time, so as to facilitate the grasp of the indicators of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

The new educated youth basically planned to go to the town to familiarize themselves with the environment and buy some necessary daily necessities.

Liu Yao saw Ning Xiyue running ahead and caught up with her: "Xiyue, what are your plans when we get to town? Do you want to go and pay the public grain first or go shopping in town? Do you want to come together?"

Ning Xiyue pointed to the food on the cart she was protecting and waved her hand:

"Don't worry about me. We in the drying group have to follow the grain delivery team to watch over the grain. We don't know when the grain will be delivered. You can go shopping with your cousins. Today is a market day and it must be busy. I'll go shopping after I'm done here. It won't be a bother."

Are you kidding? She still had to find an excuse to get some things back to the team. Her big iron pot was still waiting to see the light of day, so she was only suitable to act alone.

"Okay, then we won't wait for you. I'm a little excited about coming to town for the market for the first time."

Liu Yao's face flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I heard from the aunts in the team that every time the market opens, members of the entire Yongchuan Commune will come to the market. The supply and marketing cooperative is always the most crowded. It's so lively, I must take a good look."

Liu Yao turned around and shouted to Chen Yechu, "Yechu, do you want to join us?"

Chen Yechu smiled and refused: "No, I have something to do, I want to go shopping by myself."

Ning Xiyue sympathized with Liu Yao and asked her about someone who both had secrets. Chen Yechu had even more secrets and knew this place better, so of course she wouldn't want someone to follow her and restrict her actions.

Liu Yao nodded, not disappointed, but since two people wanted to go alone, she understood and didn't plan to ask others. Everyone probably wanted to go shopping by themselves and feel more comfortable.

Smiling cheerfully, "Okay, let's go our separate ways. Maybe we can meet again when we go back."

Wang Mengmeng came up from behind and said to Liu Yao, "I'll go with you."

Liu Yao looked at Wang Mengmeng in surprise, then looked at Xia Zhipeng who was chasing after them: "Aren't you going with your brother Zhipeng?"

Wang Mengmeng frowned with disgust, covered her chest and wanted to vomit: "Please don't talk about brother, he is no longer, I don't have such a brother."

Ning Xiyue wanted to laugh. Did Wang Mengmeng think the name was disgusting?

What do you call this? When I like you, calling your name is so sweet, but when I don’t like you, I feel like vomiting just hearing it.

No wonder Wang Mengmeng didn’t get together with Xia Zhipeng in Chen Yechu’s previous life. It was most likely that she discovered something fishy and her mysophobia kicked in, and she felt disgusted.

As a result, the scumbag was picked up by Chen Yechu and taken home.

When Xia Zhipeng ran up, he heard Wang Mengmeng's hurtful words and shouted unhappily:

"Meng Meng."

Wang Mengmeng saw Xia Zhipeng approaching her, so she gestured to him to stop and shouted, "I can't do anything about it. Don't come over here. Stay one meter away from me. No, two meters away. I feel uncomfortable when I see you."

Xia Zhipeng felt a little aggrieved: "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you? You were not like this before."

The aunt who was eating melons and Ning Xiyue were walking forward while taking care of the food on the cart, while also paying attention to Xia Zhipeng and Wang Mengmeng.

Aunt Liu came over to Ning Xiyue and muttered, "I didn't expect that I could hear gossip while walking."

"This will add some fun to us." Ning Xiyue winked at her aunt, indicating that she should continue watching.

Wang Mengmeng shook her head with an indescribable expression: "Nothing, are you not allowing me to grow up and be sensible?"

"Mengmeng, you have really changed." Xia Zhipeng looked at her with injured eyes.

Ning Xiyue shook her head secretly. Xia Zhipeng was definitely a scumbag.

When Wang Mengmeng liked him, he ignored her and ignored her.

When Wang Mengmeng doesn't like him, he comes to flirt with her again.

A scumbag with bad character.

When Wang Mengmeng saw Xia Zhipeng getting closer and closer to her, the scene of him falling into the pit immediately appeared in front of her eyes. She shivered with fear and looked at the location. Thinking that Xia Zhipeng was afraid of Ning Xiyue, she quickly moved to Ning Xiyue's side and followed closely.

As expected, Xia Zhipeng stopped near Chen Yechu and did not get closer.

Yu Zhiyu calmly placed Chen Yechu behind him to isolate Xia Zhipeng.

Ning Xiyue, who was watching the show, was startled by Wang Mengmeng who suddenly ran over and almost stuck to her. Ning Xiyue gently pushed him away, "What are you doing? You're too close. It's hot."

Wang Mengmeng looked at Ning Xiyue eagerly, and even pulled at the corner of her clothes, with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Xiyue."

Ning Xiyue saw her look and thought of Xiao Hui who asked her for meat. Because she looked like Xiao Hui, she acquiesced to her being by her side: "Hold on to the food, don't squeeze it out."

"Why!"

Wang Mengmeng happily held the sacks filled with grain.

Ning Xiyue found that Wang Mengmeng was still quite smart and not annoying anymore.

This time, the scumbag Xia Zhipeng lost everything, and Chen Yechu was in trouble. Wang Mengmeng, who was following behind him, also came to his senses.

Ning Xiyue looked at Xia Zhipeng's lonely expression and wondered if he regretted it.

There was no gossip to be seen on the rest of the journey, so the aunts started gossiping among themselves. Time passed quickly and before they knew it they had arrived in town.

Everyone went their separate ways.

Liu Yao, Yu Zhiyu and Wang Mengmeng left together. Chen Yechu left alone, and Wang Jiandong also left alone.

Xia Zhipeng looked in the direction of Chen Yechu and then in the direction of Wang Mengmeng, and finally left with a gloomy face.

Ning Xiyue carried the food and followed the large army to the grain station to deliver it. Following behind were Wu Guifang and Zhao Jianshe, who were concerned about the progress.

There were huge crowds of people outside the grain station, and countless ox carts, horse carts, and carts, all loaded with grain. People from various brigades were lining up to pay their grain, and there were officials directing traffic there.

Several granaries placed in front have already piled up high with grain.

After a stroll, Wu Guifang came to the team where Ning Xiyue was and whispered, "I looked at the team ahead who was paying the public grain. Their grain was not as good as ours and was rated as first-class. Our team must be the one with the best quality."

Zhao Jianshe looked at the team ahead who were asked to rework and sighed, "As long as they don't have to rework, that's fine."

Aunt Yang Liu believed in herself and said, "That's impossible. Our drying team carefully selects the clothes to ensure that there are no impurities at all. There is absolutely no possibility of rework."

"Of course not. I'm almost going blind from choosing these past few days." Ning Xiyue shared the same opinion as Aunt Yang Liu, and shared with Wu Guifang and Zhao Jianshe how their drying team had carefully selected the grains in the past few days.

"Ding, the sign-in location is found, the Yongchuan Public Grain Festival is on site, host, are you sure you want to sign in?"

Ning Xiyue was talking excitedly when she heard Tongzi's sign-in reminder. The sign-in location was not the grain station sign-in location but another one. She was full of anticipation.

"Sign in."
